Anyone else living in stretch mark hell?

I knew I'd get stretch marks because I look at food and they basically appear on my body when I'm not pregnant. But holy hell....they are so bad. So bad that my ultrasound tech even commented on them (DH was super pissed about this- I didn't really care). It's like a giant sunburst of marks on my stomach and below, closer to my pelvic born? Deep, wide, purple crevices that actually hurt sometimes. I use cocoa butter to keep it moisturized but I know there's nothing I can really do besides laugh about it at this point. I'm in stretch mark hell.

For some reason I forgot about stretch marks until like yesterday and I looked and I have some on my sides right above my hips! They aren't terrible but I can definitely see them! Started putting lotion on twice a day but I'm guessing it's too late for that now 😂 Do they go away?

Every kid has added to their length. If I was to have another LO (little one) after this (I'm not, I'm having a tubal) they'd for sure reach under my boobs. 😂 The nurse that did my NST at a previous appointment said "Wow you have some pretty good stretch marks!" I told her "And every kid just makes them better!" 😂 Her response? "If THAT'S what you call better....." 😐😐

I didn't get any with my first but with my second they came on my lower abdomen. It's like it tried to hide low so I couldn't see. The same ones I got with that pregnancy came back this time (don't think they ever really disappeared). I am sure I will be growing more and need to stretch more so I will probably get more.

I seem to add a couple stripes here and there every pregnancy but none so far! I remember being mortified my first pregnancy after thinking I didn't have any until I looked in a full sized mirror one day and they were all underneith😂😂😂 I'm laughing just thinking about it rn😁
